The Kimberley Process

The Kimberley Process was launched in 2000 in the South African city of the same name. Its aim is to combat the trade in conflict diamonds. The original participants were representatives of African countries with diamond deposits.

They discussed methods to stop the trade in conflict diamonds and thus ensure that the gemstones are not used to finance armed conflicts.

The Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS)

The results of the process were incorporated into the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS), which is designed to control the production and trade of rough diamonds. In 2002, rules were laid down that diamond-producing countries must adhere to. One year later, the system came into force and the participating countries began implementing the rules.

The Kimberley Process currently has 54 members representing 81 countries. The European Union is the only member. The participants account for 99.8% of the global diamond trade.

The World Diamond Council, which represents the international diamond industry, also participates in the Kimberley Process.

Positive effects of the diamond trade

The Kimberley Process aims to ensure that the diamond trade benefits the national development of the countries of origin. If used sensibly, the profits from the sale are used to expand local infrastructure and establish important social structures such as hospitals or schools.
